We’ve made ordering canapés as easy as possible.

For new and prospective clients here’s an in-depth look at the process – everything from what types of event are best suited to canapés to extras and how we deliver. Let’s get stuck in.

Who orders canapés catering?

We’re mostly used to dealing with corporate events managers and PR agencies for big brands in London. Past clients have included Ted Baker and Nike. We also opened a Shoreditch HQ specifically for start-ups in tech. 

But while our niche client base tends to be London-based companies, word gets around. We regularly take orders from outside the corporate sector. Wedding planners, gallery owners, and other individuals order canapés for a range of events.

What kind of events do we cater for?

We’re used to formidable guest counts and canapés at scale. But part of what makes our job exciting is the variety of events we’re asked to cater. Corporate receptions, marketing events, and so on are just the tip of the iceberg (though it’s a tip we’re especially proud of). 

We also cater private weddings, book launches, office leaving dos, seasonal events (Christmas, Halloween, etc.), summer street parties… you name it. 

We’re always open to new requests and don’t like to box ourselves in. In fact, the more unusual the request the better.

How do you order canapés catering?

Once you’ve picked your menu, ordering is simple. You can do it all online. There are just a few things to keep in mind.

1. The minimum order for canapé menus is £500 (excl. VAT).

2. If you don’t have an account with us, we’ll ask for a 50% deposit seven working days before the event. After this the balance will be payable within 30 days.

The above three steps are pretty much it for basic canapé orders. However, depending on your event, you might want to consider the following:
